Review of Crop Water Productivity for Tomato, Potato, Melon, Watermelon and Cantaloupe in Iran

Population increase and the improvement of living standards brought about by development will result in a sharp increase in food demand during the next decades. Most of this increase will be met by the products of irrigated agriculture and this increase needs to be accomplished under...

Effect of Different Tillage Methods on Grain Yield and Yield Components of Corn in the Arid Lands of Iran

Field experiments were conducted to study the effect of different tillage methods on grain yield and yield components of corn (Zea mays L.) in the arid lands of Iran. Tillage treatments in the study were moldboard plow + two passes of disk harrow (MDD), moldboard plow + one pass of rotary...

Response of Soil Physical Properties and Crop Yield of Melon to Different Tillage Methods

Two-year field experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of different tillage methods on soil physical properties and crop yield of melon. Tillage treatments in the study were moldboard plow + two passes of disk harrow as conventional tillage (CT), two passes of disk harrow as...

North Carolina ponds offer excellent fishing for Tarheel anglers and represent a significant portion of the state’s water resources. Properly managed ponds can provide excellent fishing opportunities to many anglers at a reasonable cost. However, careful planning and wise management...

High tides associated with hurricane storm surges and other wind-driven events often inundate low-lying farm fields in coastal North Carolina. Flooding with salt water affects soil fertility by elevating soluble salts, especially sodium (Na) and chloride (Cl), which can be toxic to plants....

Peanut Weed Management

Effective weed management is essential for profitable peanut production. Peanuts are not very competitive with weeds and thus require higher levels of weed control than most other agronomic crops to avoid yield losses. Weeds may also decrease digging efficiency, so effective late-season weed...
